I had started a thread that got lost in the data transfer yesterday concerning this jacket, asking if others had any experience with it.

I found what I think was a good deal on eBay, $118 for the kit (includes battery, adapter, and charger). I already own 3 tools in the M12 lineup, a 3/8" ratchet, a rotary (Dremel type) tool, and a soldering iron. I also now have 4 batteries, and an extra charger. I am very happy with the performance and value of these 3 tools, and expect the jacket to be a quality product, and meet my expectations. I plan to get the compact cordless tire inflator next.
I didn't buy the jacket specifically for riding, but it was a consideration. It says up to 8 hours battery life, even if it's half that it is more than acceptable.
The good news is it arrived yesterday. So now I suppose once the cold weather arrives you con look for my review. I didn't try it yet, but I believe I can remove the liner from my Tourmaster 3/4 coat and use this to replace the liner. If that works out well I will feel like a genius.
